Win or Lose - They're ALL Winners!

aw, barry, i think you got robbed by clicking just a half-second too soon--take a look at the face of the boy getting ready to come through!

these shots are tough calls for challenges. i think this would probably have scored higher (ie, had more appeal), if you had caught someone looking up. there might always be a half-point or so to be gained from technical polish, but as you saw with your blue-ribboner, most points come from getting the viewers to instantly connect with your subject.

are those bugs doing what I think they are doing? Great shot. In Florida, we ususally see bugs up close only after they have sucked a pint of blood.
